GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = p00060oc

Average and RMS wind pressures and average wind velocities were calculated from the wind test in the following conditions:

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 000 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 60 degree (30 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : open
  • Downwind gate: closed

At +X: Resultant 1.4 m/s
U= .1 V= -.7 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .7

At -X: Resultant 2.4 m/s
U= .3 V= 1.5 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.6

At -Y: Resultant 1.2 m/s
U= .2 V= -.1 W= -.6
Resultant V_RMS = .6

At M2: Resultant 2.9 m/s
U= -1.2 V= 1.0 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.9

At Dome: Resultant 12.9 m/s
U= .7 V= 10.6 W= 6.6
Resultant V_RMS = 1.8
